@viperishemu2992 Bro... they came after me... They approached my ship and start firing cannonballs at me then ran when I got the better of them... Also getting away from a galleon is easy if you are in a sloop.. to make this clear we were both on sloops.... I was alone and they were two, they just kept sailing directly into the wind
@Natsu-v2 The shroudbreaker only works for the top right of the map
Nonsense. Playing for a draw is an acceptable and intelligent tactic that is strategically applied in every competition, game or war.
So when I'm playing checkers with my dad, and he is about to king his piece, I should flip the board so that we draw. I mean no one wins, right? So its a draw. I'm just being intelligent with my tactic here.
Why reward behaviour that you don't approve of. Anyone who wastes my time chasing me for 30 minutes won't get any favours from me.
Be a good sport. Sea of Thieves is a pirate game, and stealth, stealing and battles are all part of the fun. All pirates on the seas accept that, but be a good sportsman in both victory and loss.

Chasing, fleeing, fighting, is all apart of the game, but if you want to sit here and say the guy destroying loot isn't a sore losers, I will pass on this conversation. If you are the kind of person who destroys loot just so someone can't take it from you, you are sore loser. Plain and simple.
@rikology Wait, seriously? Was that changed at some point? I swear I've seen ships just living out there nowhere even close to the shores of gold.

I was moving for 40 minutes near edge of the map seeing how Galleon is trying to catch me and when I tired of this circus I moved into the shoud with the Reaper's chest. After respawn I decided to visit Galleon near edge of the map, their crew were trying to get the Reaper's chest - without result :)
I would've taken it to Sailor's Bounty personally and hide it deep in the trap-invested dungeon there, then fight everybody where you have a high upperhand due to a really good defensive situation... Just because it would be fun.

now that is an amazing idea

Yeah, it's a lot of fun. Done it a few times and even made it a competition once with some friends to see who can find it and get it out. Now that Reaper's chests are finally much more valuable due to Reaper's reputation, you have a higher chance of people chasing you down for it.
@nabberwar idk, if you take over a person's game by chasing them for an hour. Then, the only way you can catch up is counting on them running out of sea. Don't be a sore loser when you don't get the loot. Maybe the person being chased simply ran out of time and decided to call it.
Personally, when I attack a ship. I don't normally chase more than a few minutes. If the person doesn't want to fight, and they see me coming and drop sails. I don't chase them to the end of the map, hoping to harpoon and send a boarding team. Especially a solo sloop.
When I solo sloop though. I am a master of wasting a crews time by allowing them to chase me for over an hour, in many cases. Selling my loot and catching mermaids. Most crews will turn off after a while. Now that we have reapers, the chase is relentless. I say, if you chase down a solo sloop for an hour, don't get mad about him sailing into the red sea.
Wow. A sore loser? Forgive me for saying this but I do this for fun with nothing on boat I act like I’ve got stuff on my sloop putting a small treasure in the back of my sloop so that way people will follow. Only people with nothin better to do will chase an empty sloop. You have time to chase might as well waste your time in the process. I will through an Athena down just to clear my miles what better to do the waste someone’s time. It least it’s keeping you from the people who are grinding this game to get their levels up. Without having someone to PvP them every minute. So what those that have loot on their boat who cares it’s just a game not life. Anyone who takes someone taking their loot not yours to the Red Sea does say if I work hard to get my loot if I can’t have it no one will. Rock on. Keep at it. I keeps idiots entertained.
@psychoticxnut We also noticed this earlier, I suppose it could be the same as dropping into the Red Sea, it seems a new tactic! Maybe players don't intend to do it? Try and outsail them ;).
@l89-sonic I do it Purposely to help out those who hate PvP and only want to grind to make it. In here you have hard workers who work hard to get their loot. Then you have those that find loot easy. Then you got the chasers who only want to chase steal your stuff without doing missions. Forts PvP arena is PvP. There are those who just want left alone and do their own thing. Not everyone wants to do PvP daily. So I try and give others a break and make the ones who want to chase follow me by cat fishing with small valued loot. It’s easier to to keep the chasers entertained.
I thought of this thread. Tonight me and my friend were at an island in our usual turf the Roar. I noticed this galleon b lining it for us so I was like girl its time to get outa here. Well the only thing that galleon got out of us was an explosive barrel to their hull. We sailed them all over the map, they chased us for about a good hour. I have mixed feelings about the hour chasers. Part of me admires their resilience while the other part finds them slightly psychotic. Anyways we headed into a storm and that is where we finally ditched them. A few times they almost caught up but they were no match for us. An A for effort though.
We only had one mermaid gem on board at the time of this which did get sold. How exciting was it though. Nothing thrills me more in this game than a good ship chase.
@fast-420 There is no game to up when someone has the same ship as you and just constantly sails into the wind... you have to make little advancements every time the wind changes to get afew feet closer each time...which I was doing...until the point they knew it was over and did the sail of shame.
@PsychoticxNut I'm more interested in if was an intended mechanic which the devs implemented purposely or not, and good job you mentioned it's just a game and not life...here is me thinking it is real.. I've done my grinding on this game, I was PL in the first few months from release and level 10 Athena not long after that.... The fruits of that labour is good pvp skills in the game which I now use to get loot easier than I did.... Also you think you are doing the grinders a favour but in reality you are making people understand the dynamics of chasing ships much better and giving them practice for when they do come across a PVE lords stacked ship
@rikology haha. I've done that when I was a solo slooper. Nobody was having my golden chicken.
Out of my cold dead hands...
@rikology I’ve grinded to PL myself without PvP. I hate PvP. It’s just like arguing, but I have a problem that keeps me from that. I suck at PvP but if I can save others from being tormented ill gladly be the one being chased. I play the game in my off time when I’m done with work, and the daily household choirs. But I will allow peopling chase me just to waste their time, when I get bored I will take them to the Red Sea and I hope to god rare doesn’t do what you want them to do.
@rikology I'll give you the same response I give to those asking for safe zones or PvE protections - NO! Simply put the treasure is not yours until you secure and sell it. If you fail to do so, regardless of how it transpired then is all on you and did not deserve it. You made the miscalculation that they would simply surrender to you when cornered and should have done more to secure the treasure before they had the option to enter the Red Sea. I've done it myself a few times and will do so again in the future, and to be honest most times I do there is little to nothing on board - I just get a kick out of wasting the time of others that feel they need to chase me as I generally don't care that much about the treasure to begin with.
You were bested in this instance, learn to deal with it. Regardless of your campaign to paint it as being a poor sport on their part, they beat you (which you obviously know by your whining about it now) by denying you the spoils. If they don't want to fight you, that is their prerogative to do that suicide run - nothing shameful about it. I find it more shameful to surrender, they went out with glory by denying you the treasure and playing on their terms - not yours.

this just sounds like you are trying to convince yourself that this isn't an act of cowardice because you are also like them... If telling yourself this makes you feel better, then that is fine :) but don't act like there is anything 'glorious' about sailing your own loot into the red sea because you lack the skills to defend it.... To beat someone is to sink them or get away with your own loot...not having the other person make you sink it all hahaha but like I said... if thinking this makes you feel less of a coward and feel better than crack on buddy!
@rikology hey atleast you didn't lose no Fotd key at the end only to have it run all the way north into the red sea... Trash.. now that's cowardice
@rikology said in Stop players from sailing into the shroud by dropping their loot on the edge!:
@masterbetty89 Exactly what was rares reason for them to put a marker on the map for the FOTD key...it was so people could fight over it and not hide it on an island somewhere... It wasn't for some coward to despawn it off the map because they suck at the game
Aye you not wrong there...
@ian333333 PvPers arent "screwing you over." Theyre just playing the game. PvEers arent screwing us over by running away. But it screws everyone over to sail into the red sea and i dont get the point of that, or how it isnt considered toxic. If i get sunk and my loot gets stolen i say "GG" which is good sportsmanship. They beat me, and they deserve the loot that they conquered. To sail into the red sea and make the experience unfun for everyone, its bad sportsmanship, and a sucky playstyle. I dont respect it and neither should anyone.
@rikology said in Stop players from sailing into the shroud by dropping their loot on the edge!:
I was solo and they were two... The whole point of the game is to be a thief, it's in the name…The devs always try to encourage player interaction but letting people sail into the shroud for their loot to be inaccessible feels like the opposite...
By your logic, if the game was called Sea of Friends, we wouldn't be having this conversation. I can see you are easily manipulated. But don't feel bad. You can't spell "manipulated" without "man".

By your logic, you would not cancel your credit cards when they are stolen. Very unwise. You will learn this after you graduate high school, eventually.
People would argue this is a game about pvp and thievery. But I would argue it is a test of human nature. Is it possible to have a "sea of peace"? Imagine every server where everyone is in alliance. Everything to gain and nothing to lose. If you really want pvp, then play the Arena. People there know what they are getting into. If only want to pvp in Adventure mode against some unsuspecting new players, then you are just being a bully. Another option would be to help others, like taking newbies through Tall Tales or do a fort raid or hunt a kraken. You don't HAVE to steal from others and ruin their day. "It's in the name" is a lazy justification for your dbaggery, for people who can't think out-of-the-box.
@fatherpapadaddy said in Stop players from sailing into the shroud by dropping their loot on the edge!:
I agree, the whole point of the game is Pirates, and being pirated, being scared that someone can sink you and take your loot. People like this completely take the fun out of the game.
The theme is pirates. Not the point. The devs are not forcing us to be pirates. That is your choice. And choice reveals character.

It is not an act of cowardice, it is an act of defiance. You are just bitter you lacked the skills to secure the loot and salty that they bested you by denying you the payout - and did so without firing a shot. Seems to me they played to their strengths and refused to be baited into playing your game, so won by denying you. And as sore as you are about it, I would say they did win in this particular situation. Seems your salt was more valuable than their virtual treasure. They won by denying you victory spoils and by wasting your time effectively.
You did not deserve the loot as you FAILED to secure it. YOU LOST! And by complaining about it here shows YOU as the sore loser, not them.
